If you're following my trek around the botanic garden we've now crossed onto Evening Island. This is a steep hill to climb up on the trail around the island. The left hillside was covered with white cleome or spider flower and sunflowers. On the right a mound of our native Illinois coneflowers. Images of those last two upcoming. The sky was changing at this point from sun and bright blue to cloudy and overcast. By the time we left the garden that day it was drizzling.
